Background: Vitamin D plays a key role in regulating inflammatory cytokines, insulin sensitivity, and immune responses. Its deficiency has been linked to chronic inflammatory conditions such as periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Cementum is a dynamic tissue that undergoe...

Root canal obturation has shifted from a predominantly mechanical philosophy centred on three-dimensional compaction of gutta-percha towards a material-dependent strategy in which the sealer may contribute substantially to the bulk, interface and biological behaviour of the filli...
